George Orwell Quotes
The Fact That Has Got To Be Faced Is That To Abolish Class-distinctions Means Abolishing A Part Of Yourself. Here Am I, A Typical Member Of The Middle Class. It Is Easy For Me To Say That I Want To Get Rid Of Class-distinctions, But Nearly Everything I Think And Do Is A Result Of Class-distinctions. All My Notions - Notions Of Good And Evil, Of Pleasant And Unpleasant, Of Funny And Serious, Of Ugly And Beautiful - Are Essentially Middle-class Notions; My Taste In Books And Food And Clothes, My Sense Of Honour, My Table Manners, My Turns Of Speech, My Accent, Even The Characteristic Movements Of My Body, Are The Products Of A Special Kind Of Upbringing And A Special Niche About Half-way Up The Social Hierarchy.
